Antaris Varela, helmsman of the Christian Conservative Party, added that they are going to surprise, since they intend to register their party “in more regions than they were, that is, re-register those we were already in and add those that had remained standby.” .
According to the law, the new affiliation will be possible if they gather 0.025% of the list that voted in the last parliamentary elections, which must be achieved in three contiguous regions or in eight non-contiguous ones.
